Sponsorship Update

Atlassian has been confirmed as a Platinum sponsor, and will be sponsoring
a MesosCon hackathon on August 22nd. More details to be announced, shortly.

Attendee Outreach Discussion

The program committee brainstormed attendee outreach, and has created a
google spreadsheet to coordinate contact with adopters and potential
MesosCon attendees.

Among the possible individuals/companies/groups to reach out to, we
discussed: related project mailing lists (spark, docker, storm), existing
Mesos meetup groups, and individuals (local to Chicago, adopters, and other
connections). Community involvement in getting the word out about MesosCon
is encouraged!

Schedule Update

John Wilkes from Google has been confirmed as a second #MesosCon keynote.
The schedule has been adjusted to accommodate his talk on the 21st.


Accepted MesosCon proposers have been notified, and waitlisted or rejected
proposers will be contacted shortly.

Upcoming Program Announcement

The Apache Mesos website will be updated to link to the MesosCon site,
possibly in a visual banner of some kind.


Target date for a program announcement is 6/11. The MesosCon program will
be posted online, along with a blog post published on the Apache Mesos
website. Twitter plans to blog about the program as well.
